The SMC protocol requires to send a separate consumer cursor update,
if it cannot be piggybacked to updates of the producer cursor.
Currently the decision to send a separate consumer cursor update
just considers the amount of data already received by the socket
program. It does not consider the amount of data already arrived, but
not yet consumed by the receiver. Basing the decision on the
difference between already confirmed and already arrived data
(instead of difference between already confirmed and already consumed
data), may lead to a somewhat earlier consumer cursor update send in
fast unidirectional traffic scenarios, and thus to better throughput.

when nonblocking nfc_alloc_send_skb() returned NULL.
Since there is no need to use MSG_DONTWAIT if we retry until
sock_alloc_send_pskb() succeeds, let's use blocking call.
Also, in case an unexpected error occurred, let's break the loop
if blocking nfc_alloc_send_skb() failed.

Inside a nested guest, access to hardware can be slow enough that
tsc_read_refs always return ULLONG_MAX, causing tsc_refine_calibration_work
to be called periodically and the nested guest to spend a lot of time
reading the ACPI timer.
However, if the TSC frequency is available from the pvclock page,
we can just set X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ and avoid the recalibration.

Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
When eVMCS is enabled, all VMCS allocated to be used by KVM are marked
with revision_id of KVM_EVMCS_VERSION instead of revision_id reported
by MSR_IA32_VMX_BASIC.
However, even though not explictly documented by TLFS, VMXArea passed
as VMXON argument should still be marked with revision_id reported by
physical CPU.
This issue was found by the following setup:
* L0 = KVM which expose eVMCS to it's L1 guest.
* L1 = KVM which consume eVMCS reported by L0.
This setup caused the following to occur:
1) L1 execute hardware_enable().
2) hardware_enable() calls kvm_cpu_vmxon() to execute VMXON.
3) L0 intercept L1 VMXON and execute handle_vmon() which notes
vmxarea->revision_id != VMCS12_REVISION and therefore fails with
nested_vmx_failInvalid() which sets RFLAGS.CF.
4) L1 kvm_cpu_vmxon() don't check RFLAGS.CF for failure and therefore
hardware_enable() continues as usual.
5) L1 hardware_enable() then calls ept_sync_global() which executes
INVEPT.
6) L0 intercept INVEPT and execute handle_invept() which notes
!vmx->nested.vmxon and thus raise a #UD to L1.
7) Raised #UD caused L1 to panic.

A comment warning against this bug is there, but the code is not doing what
the comment says. Therefore it is possible that an EPOLLHUP races against
irq_bypass_register_consumer. The EPOLLHUP handler schedules irqfd_shutdown,
and if that runs soon enough, you get a use-after-free.

Syzbot reports crashes in kvm_irqfd_assign(), caused by use-after-free
when kvm_irqfd_assign() and kvm_irqfd_deassign() run in parallel
for one specific eventfd. When the assign path hasn't finished but irqfd
has been added to kvm->irqfds.items list, another thead may deassign the
eventfd and free struct kvm_kernel_irqfd(). The assign path then uses
the struct kvm_kernel_irqfd that has been freed by deassign path. To avoid
such issue, keep irqfd under kvm->irq_srcu protection after the irqfd
has been added to kvm->irqfds.items list, and call synchronize_srcu()
in irq_shutdown() to make sure that irqfd has been fully initialized in
the assign path.

octeon_mgmt driver doesn't drop RX frames that are 1-4 bytes bigger than
MTU set for the corresponding interface. The problem is in the
AGL_GMX_RX0/1_FRM_MAX register setting, which should not account for VLAN
tagging.
According to Octeon HW manual:
"For tagged frames, MAX increases by four bytes for each VLAN found up to a
maximum of two VLANs, or MAX + 8 bytes."
OCTEON_FRAME_HEADER_LEN "define" is fine for ring buffer management, but
should not be used for AGL_GMX_RX0/1_FRM_MAX.
The problem could be easily reproduced using "ping" command. If affected
system has default MTU 1500, other host (having MTU >= 1504) can
successfully "ping" the affected system with payload size 1473-1476,
resulting in IP packets of size 1501-1504 accepted by the mgmt driver.
Fixed system still accepts IP packets of 1500 bytes even with VLAN tagging,
because the limits are lifted in HW as expected, for every VLAN tag.

Way back in 4.9, we committed 4cd13c21b2 ("softirq: Let ksoftirqd do
its job"), and ever since we've had small nagging issues with it. For
example, we've had:
1ff688209e ("watchdog: core: make sure the watchdog_worker is not deferred")
8d5755b3f7 ("watchdog: softdog: fire watchdog even if softirqs do not get to run")
217f697436 ("net: busy-poll: allow preemption in sk_busy_loop()")
all of which worked around some of the effects of that commit.
The DVB people have also complained that the commit causes excessive USB
URB latencies, which seems to be due to the USB code using tasklets to
schedule USB traffic. This seems to be an issue mainly when already
living on the edge, but waiting for ksoftirqd to handle it really does
seem to cause excessive latencies.
Now Hanna Hawa reports that this issue isn't just limited to USB URB and
DVB, but also causes timeout problems for the Marvell SoC team:
"I'm facing kernel panic issue while running raid 5 on sata disks
connected to Macchiatobin (Marvell community board with Armada-8040
SoC with 4 ARMv8 cores of CA72) Raid 5 built with Marvell DMA engine
and async_tx mechanism (ASYNC_TX_DMA [=y]); the DMA driver (mv_xor_v2)
uses a tasklet to clean the done descriptors from the queue"
The latency problem causes a panic:
mv_xor_v2 f0400000.xor: dma_sync_wait: timeout!
Kernel panic - not syncing: async_tx_quiesce: DMA error waiting for transaction
We've discussed simply just reverting the original commit entirely, and
also much more involved solutions (with per-softirq threads etc). This
patch is intentionally stupid and fairly limited, because the issue
still remains, and the other solutions either got sidetracked or had
other issues.
We should probably also consider the timer softirqs to be synchronous
and not be delayed to ksoftirqd (since they were the issue with the
earlier watchdog problems), but that should be done as a separate patch.
This does only the tasklet cases.
